With the implementation of Patch v0.5.5 this week, we must make yet another compromise. From this patch onward, gliding will be performed using a glider rather than with Pals. Pals in the player’s team will still provide passive buffs to gliding, but players will now need to have a glider in their inventory in order to glide.

How lame. Japan needs to fix its patent laws, it's ridiculous Nintendo owns the simple concept of using an animal to fly.

That's lame af. Flying on my dragon dude between my bases was badass.

You can still fly, it's just gliding that got hit by the gaming mafia

They could simply have the pals hold on to gliders that the players can use and nothing would change in the gameplay...

palword wouldve solved some of its problem by not naming it to close to POKEMON names, or gimmicks, or copy verbatim some of its features. they only noticed when things were named exactly like they did in the pokemon consoles.

kinda wierd thing to target, when flying was in WOW for 2 decades before this lawsuit.

-after looking at another post, they also copied the pokemon and changed it very little of the pal-creature, palword needs ot do better to have a stronger case.
